Baby steps, Dylan, baby steps.

I reeaaally hope this miracle pans out for you. But I too advise caution.

I guess it's me and the road I've tread. If my xW ever said and acted as yours has, and were I ever given a chance to really stare deep into her eyes just like we did many, many years ago, I don't think I could ever trust my ability to read what's really there any longer. I've been there before, read that story before in her eyes, saw what I thought was true and genuine there -- and yet here I am now. No, no, for me there's just no going back now. I could never trust it, not with her -- not unless God himself stepped in and the whole choir invisible sang a pronouncement of her soul being saved and restored in good standing.

I just don't see that happening. And I get the feeling that God has been trying all this time to get me to realize it just ain't ever going to happen.

But then my xW has turned out to be the supreme actress, and she exudes a "sincerity" from her reality distortion field that is so believable because she believes it herself. I think I am immune to her siren song now.

That's where I hope your ex differs from mine, Dylan. I really hope she's not a "player" like mine is.
